A Tale to the Hidden Past

Naruto was watching his brother walk up to Gaara and say something that made his brother and sister's eyes widen and Gaara's hand to twitch, Gabriel said something again before turning his back to them and walked back to Naruto "you still have your apartment?" he asked in his calm voice. Naruto nodded. "okay, meet you there" he said before disappearing in a cloud of smoke, leaving Naruto to the rest of the ninjas from Konoha…all of witch had a look of foreboding on there faces.

"errrg….I think I need to go now, hehe" Naruto said as he prepared to run but soon found out that he couldn't move, curtsy of Shikamaru's shadow "no, I think not Naruto because we want answers and we want them now" Sakura said her eyes furious as she remembered Gabriel's 'talk' to her. "oh bollocks" was all Naruto could say as the Konoha 12 began to move out of the building, Naruto in the shadow bind.

"Should we stop them, follow them or just let them be" Ibiki Morino asked the Hokage. The hokage, let lose a small cloud of smoke "neither as all those of you that are jounin are going to follow me, meet me at my office" and with that he disappeared in…well smoke but not from his pipe. The jounin took one look at one another before they to disappeared in smoke.

With Naruto

"Okay" Ino said "spit it out Naruto, who is Gabriel, why haven't we seen or even heard of him before and where has he been?" Naruto looked at them all from his oh so comfy sitting place…. Or more precisely tied to the chair, damn his ass hurt! " yes Naruto, we are very interested to hear that" Sakura said. Naruto looked at them all and sighed before looking to the side a thoughtful look on his face, as if he was trying to figure out what to tell witch was kinda freaky for the others as the never seen Naruto with something other then a smile. "I-I guess I could tell you a little….but don't demand more then what I can give" Naruto took a deep breath before he started to talk

With the Hokage

"What I am about to tell you is a S-class secret and will remain so." Sarutobi said as he looked at the jounin, everybody said hai as they waited for what the old hokage was to say.

"Gabriel is the eldest son of Yondaime and also Naruto's older brother (1)" the uproar from the Jounin was quickly silenced by Sarutobi as he focused on Kakashi wide eye, the only part that showed his surprise "yes Kakashi, your sensei had sons but only I ever knew of them as his, and that was only because I was the one who wedded Minato to his wife" Sarutobi sighed as he lent back in his chair " Kushina was a beautiful, gentle and powerful woman but… the village would not stand for a outsider married to there Kage so they did so in secret" Sarutobi still remembered the happy glow around the new wedded as they sealed there marriage with a kiss.

"After a year they had a son, Gabriel but that to was concealed and before you say anything Kakashi there was a reason for that to" Sarutobi shoot a sharp look at the copynin before he continued "by this time, Arashi had gotten many enemies that would target any family he got and therefore they decided to hide away that he had one until the boy where old enough to defend himself, the years went by as Gabriel grew and became the sunshine that you just couldn't resist " Sarutobi smiled as he remembered how the boy just to react when he visited them.

Flashback

Sarutobi was walking up the path to the house that Kushina, Minato and of course little Gabriel lived in , the cute little blonde sunshine Gabriel, one of the most devious angels ever to grace the world. Two, soon three year old and already a fighter and a prankster. "SARU!!!" came a loud cry from the house and Sarutobi twitched as he was called a monkey (2) but looked up to see a blond bundle coming at him with more speed then normal, but what could you expect from the child of the yellow flash? Sarutobi caught the small child and hugged him " hello there little one" he said as he tickled the child's tummy. The child giggled "mommy's belly is getting big!" ah, yes, Kushina was pregnant again…he couldn't wait for the next one.

End of Flashback

Sarutobi sighed at the memory, Gabriel had certainly changed. no longer was he the blond boy that would run up to someone and hug them, no Gabriel was a ninja now… a scarred ninja and it hurt Sarutobi to see him like that, so emotionless and unforgiving. And then there was the tensing when Sarutobi had touched him for a brief second…he was no fool, something had happened to the boy and he knew that it had been bad but what?.

A chough bought him out of his musing to see all the jounin staring at him, he just gave a sigh and continue on his tale " but then Kyuubi came and we all know the results of that… but Minato had more personal motives then the salvage of the village even if that to was on his mind as a bonus…a big bonus" the old hokage tapped his pipe a little against his desk as he ignored the response on his words " Naruto had a heart condition because of the sickdom that also Gabriel has gotten…I think it came thru Kushina's blood but I am still not sure…it might have something to do with there chakra itself but as I said, whatever it was it got thru Kushina and into Naruto enough to weaken his heart".

He still remember Naruto's weak cry as Minato had run by him, tears streaming down his face, whispering to him to take care of both his children and forgive him for leaving them. Sarutobi sighed again " you all know the story after that, but what you did not know was about Gabriel…I took care of him and some of the medic nins that I trusted to keep him a secret and not glare at Naruto…Gabriel grew but soon the Konoha hospital could do nothing for him and thus he left to find a cure" Sarutobi leaned back in his chair as he remembered the morning that Gabriel had jumped out of the window and ran away "I don't think Gabriel is going to like that you told so many Hokage-sama" said a voice by the door and they all tensed as the turned to see….Iruka?

Iruka was looking only at the old Hokage "is it true? Is he really back?" he asked with a trace of excitement running thru his voice but before he could answer another one did "ah, I am Iruka nii-san" they twirled around to see Gabriel sitting in the window smiling a small smile to Iruka before he turned his eyes to the old man " you wanted to see me?"

With Naruto

"And there you know" Naruto said with a sigh "Gabriel is my older brother that has been keep a secret because of his condition and the reason we have no parents are because mum died when she birthed me and dad died in the demon attack". Sometimes Naruto loved the fact that he could lie with a strait face.

The others where looking at him until " I don't believe you…atlest some part of you story was untrue but not all so we will leave you alone(3) " it was Shikamaru. The others nodded " I do hope you will tell us all someday Naruto" Shino said quietly, shocking them all before most of them departed, leaving team 7 alone. Sasuke was looking at him "dobe….when did you get so smart?" that made Sakura to look at him.

Naruto just looked at the sky "who says I haven't always been" and with that he disappeared in a small shower of leaves leaving only the rope laying slack on the chair and two gaping team mates.

hmmm, I like the suspens. now comes the quistons and both a hidden and suprising friendship. what is it that Sarutobi want with Gabriel and who is his friend that Gabriel asked to look out for Naruto...well you might guess now that I said its a suprising...hmmm oh well, until next time!!!

(1) yes I do believe the theory that Naruto is Yondaimes/Arashi's son and nothings else then the maker of Naruto will get me to change my mind…that also goes of Tobi either being really obito or maddara

(2) I don't really know this so if someone would inform me if I'm wrong please do!!!

(3) yes I know that they are very nice and lenant to Naruto…and very close but this is MY story!!

PS: I changed the names of the Yondaime and his wife into what the names where suppose to be
